The moment has come: taking a huge step towards your independence and going to a college away from home. You get to experience the world in your own way, make your own decisions, and set your standards for how you want to live your life. This new independence can be fantastic and fun, but can also be overwhelming with so much "new" happening. At some point, every college freshman in their first semester will have a moment where they get homesick and their independence will turn into a feeling of loneliness. At this moment, they will wonder if this independence thing is all worth it. Most will persevere and continue to write the story of their lives while others will find this independence too hard to handle and quit.
